I haven't enjoyed the last couple of books I've read and haven't seen any new movies lately, so, while I fish around for something to review, I thought I'd share recent blog stats. Since posting my Interview with Dan Boehl on November 11, 2011, it has been the most visited of all my posts. But yesterday Grimm's Tales (November 5, 2011) surpassed Dan to become the the fruitcake files favorite post. Four of the top ten posts are from this year: Facebook Time Travel (February 9, 2012), Spend Valentine's Day with Cary Grant, Harrison Ford, Colin Firth, or Johnny Depp (February 13, 2012), The Blood of the Children (January 16, 2012), and Drinking Rum with Johnny Depp (February 17, 2012). Following are the top ten posts:

Though I'm still waiting for readers from Africa and Antartica, I am getting more readers from the Middle East, Australia, and South America. Currently, the five countries with the most fruitcake files readers are the U.S., Russia, Germany, the U.K., and Canada.
I think blog stats can be so fascinating! I rarely understand why certain posts get a ton of traffic while others (which are extremely similar) get almost none. It's definitely fun to try to figure out. Thanks for sharing some of yours :)
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out why some posts get so much more traffic than others either. I'm clueless about SEO. My post "Facebook Time Travel" got a ton of hits, and I knew when I named it it would. But who's actually searching for Facebook time travel? Bizarre.
